Chapter 726: Undercurrent

It had been an hour since he left Pierre's place, and Lao Hong had been worried that he would meet Lily again, but this worry was obviously unnecessary, and he did not see the shadow of the stunning woman until he left the villa. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After accepting the assignment of Gosling's apprenticeship and reporting on the situation at the old villa, Lao Hong reported to Pierre on the progress of another matter.

Not long ago, he was sent by Pierre to investigate the inside story of Officer Vincent's death. Of course, this mission was carried out in secret, and only Pierre and Lao Hong knew about it.

Vincent's sudden death was very strange and uneasy to Pierre. Rather than giving Vincent the truth, Pierre is more concerned with eradicating potential dangers and ensuring his own safety.

If it's really just an accident, otherwise the nature of the matter will be serious. Vincent is Pierre's right-hand man, and he was promoted to assistant police chief some time ago, such a character can be easily killed in the manor, just ask how Pierre can eat well and sleep.

If he gets by, Pierre fears that he will be the next to die.

The manor, which was originally a monolith in Pierre's eyes, was actually nothing more than a rotten bucket with countless holes, which made Pierre sad.

Vincent's death caused panic within the police force, and no one even grabbed the vacated position after his death, which also caused Pierre a real headache for some time.

In order to find the murderer and not expand his influence, Pierre found Lao Hong.

Lao Hong was originally recommended by the police officer Martin as a deputy, but it turned out to be a special status under the leadership of the direct director, which made Lao Hong a mixed bag.

As with the mission of the old villa, the investigation into Vincent's death has made little progress.

At Pierre's request, Lao Hong did not dare to investigate this matter in a big way, so he could only rely on his usual observation of words and feelings, and knock on the side to grasp some painless information.

Lao Hong can't let go of his hands and feet, he can't afford to offend these policemen, and no one can afford to offend them.

In fact, he has targeted the police force from the very beginning, and this is the crux of the matter. If the murderer was someone outside the police force, then Lao Hong would be much better.

Unfortunately, Lao Hong always believed that Vincent was a victim of the power struggle in the estate.

And the most likely murderer is... Brooke.

As the second and third men of the manor, Brooke and Vincent have always been at odds, and both of them are blatantly and unscrupulously opposed in both their opinions and daily actions, and this is nothing new.

Therefore, Lao Hong believes that Brooke has a full motive to kill.

It's just that there is no evidence in hand, and the investigation has been stagnant.

Brooke is not a character that Lao Hong can afford to mess with, and if he is offended, I am afraid that even if he is taken care of by Pierre, his life in the manor will be very difficult in the future.

After all, Vincent's lessons are there.

Unless he has evidence that he is not allowed to turn over, Lao Hong does not intend to set himself on fire.

Although Pierre did not say it explicitly, Lao Hong knew in his heart that he obviously had doubts about Brooke as well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have found himself as an outsider to be responsible, after all, the police are professional in solving cases and chasing murderers.

Lao Hong felt a headache when he thought of this, even the director still had to scruple about three points, he would still be clever in the future, don't get in last. It's just that the director's side can't deal with it too much, and every time they meet, they always have to provide some new clues.

Fortunately, Pierre did not set a time limit, nor did he ask Lao Hong to issue a military order to catch the murderer, so Lao Hong would not be too worried about this matter.

However, before leaving, Pierre gave him a problem.

He couldn't make up his mind about this matter, so he didn't agree directly, under the pretext that he wanted to discuss it with his 'daughter' Ning Dongqing.

Pierre didn't rush him to make a decision, giving him plenty of time to think.

Lao Hong stood in the courtyard of the manor and sighed softly, and couldn't help but feel that the noon sun was very dazzling.

He seemed to understand the meaning of Lily's words when he was alone.

Before he left, Pierre said that he would find him a wife...

************

At night, a few dogs barked from time to time in the manor.

The dogs raised on the manor can be described as loyal, and there are no less than double digits of escapees planted in their hands.

Pushing away the dogs that had gathered around for food, Grant the butler walked briskly into an unknown building. With his henchmen and dogs guarding the door, Grant isn't worried about safety here.

Besides, it is estimated that no one in the manor would have thought that this would be the gathering place of their Duke's old faction.

"He's already here."

The candle-lit room was dim and yellow, and the faces of the speakers were very dark. This person is the young chef Shambold, who has frolicked with Lao Hong in the kitchen during the day.

"Well," the old man Grant agreed, full of energy, not like his usual half-dead and imminent appearance, "It's not too early, hurry back and don't attract the attention of others." ”

"Don't worry."

Shambaught agreed, and was about to leave, but he still stopped with some unease.

"Master, is this man reliable? How do I feel..."

What they were trying to do was not to be careless, and it involved the head on his neck, and Shambaugh was very worried.

"Since he is willing to come, then prove that there is something to talk about. Go ahead and be careful yourself. ”

There was a doting look in Grant's eyes, and Shambaught was his grandson and his only relative in this world.

Shambaught said yes and left, leaving Grant alone in the house.

After tidying up, Grant came to a door, knocked twice, and pushed it in.

There was already someone waiting for him in the room, it was Alexander.

Alexander was frowning at this point, staring at Grant with some impatience in his eyes. I don't know if it's because the other party is late, or because of the smell of dog feces in the room.

"Truly..."

Grant greeted him with his grim laugh.

"I'm sorry to wait. When I encountered something today, I rushed to it as soon as I dealt with it. As for choosing this place to keep dogs, it's really helpless..."

"Without further ado, what are you looking for me to do?" Alexander had been waiting for a long time and did not want to waste any more time.

"Your Excellency must have guessed the reason, so why do you knowingly ask?"

Grant's answer was watertight.

"It doesn't seem like there's any need for us to continue talking." Alexander got up and gestured to go out.

"Wait."

Grant called out to him, and made a quick judgment in his mind.

"Since Your Excellency must say it yourself by the old man, there is nothing you dare not say. The old man came to your excellency just to get rid of Pierre and take back the manor! ”

"Why me?"

Alexander was not deterred by these words, it seems that he had already guessed a thing or two.

"Because..."

Grant smiled as he walked over to Alexander.

"This matter is not a hero and cannot be treated, looking at the manor, only the foot can conspire with it!"

(To be done!) )
